Wayne Maurice Henderson (September 24, 1939 – April 5, 2014) was an American soul jazz and hard boptrombonist and record producer. In 1961, he co-founded the soul jazz/hard bop group The Jazz Crusaders.[1] Henderson left the group (who by then had changed their name to The Crusaders) in 1976 to pursue a career in producing, but revived The Jazz Crusaders in 1995.
